On this 19 th day of May 181 9 before me the subscriber, one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Common Pleas, for the Southern Circuit, personally appeared George Fairbank aged sixty seven years, resident in the said Circuit, who being by me first duly cautioned according to law, on his oath made the following declaration, by him signed, in order to obtain the provision made by the late act of Congress, entitled "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary war."
— I George Fairbank of Wrentham in the county of Norfolk Physician, on oath set forth and declare, that in Jan y 1777 I entered the late Revolutionary Army as a Surgeon's Mate, was attached to a Regiment commanded by Col Bradford Gen l Patterson's Brigade (Mass s : Line) and served in said Reg t for the term of eleven ten months when I was appointed and commissioned Surgeon, and still continued without interruption in service in the same, eleven months more, when on account of the feeble state of my

health I resigned and left the Army in September 1748. My Commission, it is now out of my power to produce. And I further state that my health is much impaired which incapacitates me from attending any business, in reduced circumstances in life & needing the assistance of my Country for support. George Fairbank
And I, the said Judge, do certify, that it appears to my satisfaction, that the said George Fairbank did serve in the revolutionary war, as stated in the preceding declaration, against the common enemy, for the term of nine months, on the continental establishment; and I now transmit the proceedings and testimony taken and had before me, to the Secretary for the Department of War, pursuant to the directions of the aforementioned act of Congress. I further certify that
I am fully satisfied the said Applicant is poor & in reduced circumstances as he has stated above.

George Swibanski Affidavit.

I George Fairbanks of Wrentham in the County of Norfolk In Commonwealth of Massachusetts, do hereby declare that having served as a Surgeon in the revolutionary War I applied for and received Pension under the act of 18 th of March 1818. No of my Pension Certificate was 13.838 that I received for a time my Pension until a subsequent act of Congress was passed requiring Pensioners to make out a schedule of their property, and in consequence of my having considerable real estate in my possession (altho' it was under Mortgage, and I was somewhat embar- rassed with debts), I did not immediately apply for the renewal of my pension being told it could not be granted under such circumstances. On the 18 th of March 1818 I owned a Farm in Wrentham which I bought of Col Bradford deeded the 5 th of Decr 1803. for the consideration of one thousand six hundred & sixty six dollars. and not being able to pay for the same mortgaged it on the same day to Joseph Lovell Esqr. Decr. for nine hundred Dollars. I afterwards on the first of November 1809 mortgaged part of the same premises to him for the payment of seven hundred and seventy dollars. I sold at times some parts of the Estate appraised by consent of said Lovell & paid with the proceeds part what was due said Lovell  him , on the 5 th of November 1819 purchased a small House and land for nine hundred and fifty dollars of one Nathan Harrington. I paid him in part for it with the money I received for my pension and became obligated to pay a mortgage on this same Whiting Metcalf of Franklin and a further sum to Joseph Partridge of Medway. Being much embarrassed with debts I sold the Farm first mentioned to Timothy Hill for 15.00 who paid said Lovell what was due him, also to said Whiting Metcalf & Joseph Partridge & other Persons to whom I was indebted so that I had not received an a final settlement with him more then twenty Dollars - I was indebted to Polly Fairbanks for money due her and to settle the same on the fourteenth of April 1825. gave her a

deed of the House & land I bought of said Farring- ton for the consideration therein expressed —
